sql to LINQ that has a CASE and a sub query

Question

I have been strugging to convert the query below to a linq query, im pretty close but I am not sure how to add in a case statement to LINQ. Googling around got me this close.

Original Working Query:

SELECT *, CASE
    WHEN Recipe_Name IN (SELECT Recipe_Name FROM Recipes WHERE Status = 2) THEN 0
    ELSE 1 
END AS editable
FROM Recipes WHERE Status = 1 ORDER BY Recipe_Name;

My LINQ - Missing the case statement:

var lcrecipes = from r in db.Recipes where r.Status == 2 select r.Recipe_Name;
            var RecipeResults = from rr in db.Recipes where lcrecipes.Contains(rr.Recipe_Name) select rr;

I have also tried:

var RecipeResults = from rr in db.Recipes
                                   where lcrecipes.Contains(rr.Recipe_Name)
                                   select new
                                   {
                                       editable = rr.Status == 2 ? "false" :
                                                   rr.Status == 1 ? "true" : ""
                                   };

How do I incorporate the case statement into LINQ? Any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

Think of it!

Editable recipes have got status not equal to 2, so below query returns only editable recipes, which meeets your needs ;) You do not need any subquery ;)

var editablerecipes = from r in db.Recipes
    where r.Status != 2
    order r by r.Recipe_Name
    select r.Recipe_Name;

If you would like to add Editable field, use this:

var recipesWithEditableFlag = from r in db.Recipes
    order r by r.Recipe_Name
    select new {RecipeName= r.Recipe_Name, Editable = r.Status==2 ? "no" : "yes"};

Corresponding SQL should looks like:

SELECT Recipe_Name, CASE WHEN Status = 2 THEN 'no' ELSE 'yes' END AS editable
FROM Recipes
ORDER BY Recipe_Name;
